ST. LOUIS, Oct. ia special from Table

ticipated when the Ceerokee council meets
next Monday. 1t is hard to see how blood
shed can be averted When the late election
was over, on the face of the returns, as GER
titled by the nine national clerks, Joel Mayer
was declared elected as chief by I43 majority.
Since then the returns have been so
changed as to count in Robert Bunch, the
opposition candidate. Both parties are gath
ering in force, and declare their respective
candidates will be seated. The only way to
settle this question is by force, there being no
court to appeal to.
1t will be fight between corrupt men
and peace-loving citizens In case of trouble
it is stated it will result in opening up the
country and destroying tribal relations

LONDON, August 29.-Now that the gov

alliance, attention is again directed to the
question of an Irish parliament. A great
deal Of discussion may be looked for dur
ing the next few months as to what is the
best form of such body, for Gladston-
ian victory means home rule and home
rule almost certainly implies a Dublin

ever makeshifts and substitutes may
intervene. Gavan Duffy is already

of the judiciary is to be upon the lines

that Mr.. Gladstone is open to conviction
upon the question of having Irish repre-
sentation at Westminster in addition to
the local parliament. It is known that Mr..
Gladstone was willing to make concess.

A package of the scrip which reached Mr..
Martyr last week was condemned and con-
fiscated by Chief Brooks of the secret ser

interesf, because of the fact that the notes
have hardly any resemblance TO
genuine currency. They are simply
pieces of white paper on which are
printed the denomination of the bill and
the words Martyrs Commercial College
Bank, Washington, ID c." There is no dol
lar mark or mention of a dollar, aud the
only thing that could possibly give them
the appearance of money is the cut OF the
eagle on one side. In addition to this the
notes are printed on white paper, with
one side left blank. 1t would seem impos-
sible to make anybody take this scrip for
real money, but Chief Brooks, referring to
il, sald:
'Our ageRt in New York was advised of
the existence of this urrency by a man
having some passed upon him in lieu OF
genuine money. The receiver, in doubt
as to its character, showed it to police

that speaks volumes of the true bravery
and courageous spirit that filled the Ameri-
can soldier. Heavy firing had been going
on all morning on both sides, when, as 1t
by pre-arrangement, Grant, OF the Federal
forces, and an unknown Confederate SOL
dier of the Mississippi regiment mounted
the works and, unprotected, commenced
firing rapidly. In On instant other firing
had ceased on both sides and all eyes were
turned toward the two brave and fearless
men, expecting every minute to see one or
both fall. The distance between them was
about six hundred yards, and strange to
cay, after exchanging with deliberate aim
forty shots neither was touched, and both
coolly returned behind their respective
works unharmed amidst the shouts of their
comrades, who had looked on in breathless
admiration.

A Brutal Outrage.

FoRT WAYNE, August 2S.-[Speoial. J.
The second chapter OF brutality has been
reached here in one of the most horrible
cases of brutality that has recently come
under public notice. Last night an illegit-
innate child of Mrs. Jno. WATERSHEDS, of
Smiley Station, sixteen miles east of here,
died after the iDfliction of tOrtures by the
mother and her husband quite unparalleled.
The child was born ten months since dur
ing the period of courtship, and after mar
risge WATERSHEDS frequently declared he
would "be rid of the damned brat" He
would squeeze ii in his arms until it faint.
ed and would snap his fingers against its
toes until all were bruised. Worse than
all he beat the infant so cruelty with a
file that one leg and one arm were broken
and it was allowed to remain In this con-
dltion without medical aid until neighbors
procured two physicians, who amputated
the leg and arm. The inhuman mother
refused TO tuckle her offspring, and would
tie the little cripple to ths Dedstead and
let it scream in agony for hours. The
husband has been sent to Paulding
County (0hio) Jail, and the woman has
eluded vigilance of the Deighbors and is
now at large. The affair has stirred up IN
tense indignation among the rough class
of people, who live in those heavily tim
beTed districts that surround the village.
